Well I just got my GST muffler in the mail , took long enough. But it looks as though the muffler has been cut off and ther is only about a half inch of piping on the back. So I guess I'm going to have to get it welded on right? And cut the old one off to have something to weld it to? My dad is a professional welder so I don't think there should be to much trouble. I just want to know exactly what I need to do. tia.

if it can be 'weld it'...

Yeah mine was like that too. Paid 20 bucks to have a muffler shop cut off the old one and weld on the new one.

>if it can be 'weld it'...

this isn't grammer school, LAY OFF.(besides the fact he said it right!!)

But yeah, any decent muffler shop shouldn't charge you very much to have it welded on. I wouldn't pay more then 20-30 bucks.

That's cool, I try to take it somewhere tomarrow. My dad said he could probably do it, but would have to take it to work to do it, which would mean a day with out the car, plus I don't think I have any jackstands so removal and installation would be a bit of a pain. thanks.

I'm just curious as to where you got that muffler from. We bought one off ebay a while back that was like that, even though the guy said it was "like new".

Well I'm guessing by like new he meant good condition, not uncut. But I got my from someone off dsmtrader, $50, shipped.

Well I got the muffler installed, haven't really driven it around much yet, but I could tell the difference in sound. Ended up taking it to a shop to do, should have found a different place to do it though, cost $45, oh well.

So where am I going to see the performance difference? In the top end, right?
